Why don't you give exact delivery time?

Short description:
The book is intended to become a useful reference for theatre people who need ?China knowledge?. Its central questions are: how is traditional Chinese theatre (?Chinese opera?, i.e. xiqu) embedded in contemporary Chinese society? What identities are created through theatre? And, most importantly: how are these identities related to one another to form a complex ?economy of identities?? An insight is offered into the traditional Chinese theatre system composed of over three hundred theatre types vying for recognition in a complex relational network. Understanding how this ?relationality? works might also shed light on the functioning of other fields in the current socio-cultural complex of China.
Ágota RÉVÉSZ studied sinology and stage direction. She researches Chinese theatre, cultural diplomacy, narratives and media.
